Orban meets Putin on September 18

According to 444.hu’s information, Hungarian Prime Minister visits Moscow and meets Russian President Vladimir Putin on September 18.

As we have reported before, Putin and Viktor Orban usually meet around February each year, either in Moscow or Budapest, so it was expected that Orban travels to Moscow sometime after the Hungarian parliamentary elections in April.

Putin visited Budapest last August for the opening of the judo world cup and paid an official visit to Hungary in February 2017 too. Orban visited him in Moscow in 2016, and Putin was in Budapest in 2015 too.

Orban held talks with Putin on July 15 too, before the World Cup final.
